Not everyone is headed to the same destination is you.
This is hard to accept sometimes.
This can trigger old wounds.
Daria Shevtsova
You just want to scream and show them the way.
You think that if only they could follow your footsteps, they, too, could fix their lives.
Healing and recovery are not linear processes.
We did not one day stumble upon a few magic answers and turn it all around.
Healing is unique, it is personal, and no two people will go through it the same way.
Its easy to think this now that were out of the darkness.
We gradually had to learn for ourselves, we had to experience for ourselves.
We needed to feel something, see something, know something before we could move on.
Everyone is exactly where they need to be, and having the exact experience they need to be having.
This is true even if you do not understand it.
This is true even if you think they are doing it wrong or falling behind.
You cannot and are not the judge of someone elses process.
Not everyone wants the same outcomes as you.
Not everyone has had the same experiences as you.
Not everyone needs the same healing as you.
In the end, we have to learn to trust the process.
We have to learn to trust consciousness, to trust life.
What we can do instead is have grace.
What we can do instead is acknowledge where they are today.
And maybe, in the process, we can do the same for ourselves.
